A Revolutionary Way of Learning

FlexPath is a self-paced style of learning that helps you build the skills employers are looking for at a pace dictated entirely by you — without the constraints of preset deadlines. With FlexPath, knowledge gained on the job can help you move more rapidly through subjects you've had experience with, while allowing you more time to work through new or more challenging material.

Degrees earned through FlexPath are the same as what you'd receive through our traditional, credit-bearing programs. FlexPath is currently available only for Business, Information Technology and Psychology degree programs.

*In accordance with U.S. Department of Education (ED) direct assessment approval requirements, a notification to the ED is in process so that the Post-Baccalaureate Certificate FlexPath programs in Business Management, Entrepreneurship, Business Intelligence and Management Consulting may be eligible for federal financial aid. These certificate programs are currently not approved for federal financial aid. Capella University will keep applicants and learners interested in FlexPath fully informed of any decisions made by the ED.

Is FlexPath Right for You?

How FlexPath Works

FlexPath allows you to earn your degree at your own pace. When you feel satisfied that you've learned the material, you’ll demonstrate your mastery of the key competencies. Faculty will then provide substantive feedback within 48 hours.

There are no preset deadlines. Rather, you’ll complete your work at your own pace, at any time during the course. You can move quickly through more familiar coursework or more slowly as you grasp new concepts and skills.

What Makes FlexPath Unique?

FlexPath is a more personalized approach to learning that allows you to:

Leverage your skills and knowledge. You’ll master the key competencies of each course by completing an integrated series of assessments that simulate work you’ll be expected to do on the job.

Work at your own pace. With no preset deadlines, you can move quickly through more familiar subjects, while taking more time with material you still need to grasp.

Use your own source materials. You can complete your assessments using any resources you choose, including videos, articles, your own experiences or the course’s recommended textbooks and readings.

Be assessed on your mastery of real-world skills. FlexPath doesn’t factor in grades, GPA, credits accumulated or the amount of time spent in a classroom. Rather, you’ll receive substantive feedback from faculty as to how well you’ve demonstrated your skill level in your assessment.

Save time and money. No matter how many courses you complete, you’ll pay one flat tuition rate every 12 weeks. The faster your pace, the sooner you can complete your degree and the more money you’ll save.
